Franken: “We Will Have Hearings” About “Rogue Elements” Inside The FBI

I think what’s troubling that we have heard out of the FBI, I think it was troubling that he put that vague letter out 11 days before the election. I think even more troubling is what we have heard from sort of the rogue elements within the FBI, seemingly tipping off former Mayor Giuliani that something was up.

In an unprecedented turn of events, the United States government is warning that it will launch cyber attacks if the government suspects Russian involvement in the U.S. elections.

A frantic article appeared Friday night on NBC News called “U.S. Government Hackers Ready To Hit Back if Russia Tries To Disrupt Election.”
